It's always advisable to keep your lug nuts tight... [8D]

go ahead and check all of them just incase would be a shame to loose a tire from loose lugs and ive almost lost a wheel from a bad bearing the only reason i didnt was the 72 i had was disc equipped

Sometimes ya just can't resist can you? No, actually I don't, but I have bought several cars where the lug nuts were too tight to get off. So, if you don't know just how much arm pressure, or where to set your air wrench, then a torque wrench can keep one from over tightening the lug nuts.
